How a discussion with a gun rights person goes . . . [View all]

More guns means more people are shot. Makes sense, right? Well re-phrase the statement and see how it goes:

Me: The sky is blue.

GR: Do you have any data to support that?

Me: Well it's generally known that the sky is blue.

GR: Really? According to who?

Second GR: Actually the sky is not blue. Chromatically it is cyan. Most people think it is blue but they are wrong because the true color blue looks more like purple.

Me: Uh, the sky appears to be blue because of reflection and refraction of white light which leaves the appearance of a blue color.

GR: Oh, so it isn't REALLY blue, it only appears to be blue. So you admit you're wrong.

Second GR: Why won't you admit that the sky is actually chromatically cyan?

Third GR: It's clear that you have no actual knowledge of color related issues so you have no right to make such a statement.

Me: Uh, well, color is the perception of light either reflected of passed by a medium, so the color of the sky is blue.

Second GR: You still haven't addressed the cyan color of the actual sky or the fact that blue isn't really blue but purple.

GR: Okay so you have moved the goal posts from what you first said, ie the sky is blue to the sky appears to be blue to the properties of the medium. Which is it?

Fourth GR: Lott debunked that a long time ago.

Fifth GR: If everybody had tinted glasses the sky would look the way I want it to look.

Me: Jesus Christ you people are so crazy!
